O.C.D. by Ali



Ali is one of the cutest ladies I know and she has a knack for organizing, which led her to start her business, O.C.D. by Ali ( O is for organized, C is for clutter-free, D is for design).
Such a fun name don't you think!? Be sure to check out her blog where she shares client before and afters as well as weekly organization tips.
 I'm excited to have her share some fun tips for my readers today!

Thank you for letting me take a minute and talk about my cup of tea.

I love to organize and I have found that there are different types.

I’ve come to the conclusion that my favorite is, MULTI-USE organizing.

If you are a fan of Real Simple magazine you know they have a section in the back with multi-function items. This is and was my favorite section when I discovered it way back in Junior High. It seems like every time I look at that section I’m amazed, and also think to myself - I could have thought of that.


I love coming across materials with a double use or even triple.

Here are a few of my recent favorites...




Store garbage bags on a curtain rod for easy accessibility. 





Use office organizers for a clutter free kitchen!




You won't have to spend a penny to organize the kiddies' art supplies! Plastic cups and a muffin tin will keep them wrangled nicely. You could also spray paint the muffin tin a bright color to personalize it a bit more.

Client Progress

These lovely clients of mine just bought their first house after finishing medical school and we are having so much fun decorating it! We started with the living/dining room which is almost complete, and then we will be moving to the family room and office.  I think many people believe interior design happens quickly and you have to spend a lot of money all at once. That is one way you can decorate your home, but with this client we took it slow and steady. This results in an equally beautiful home. We came up with an overall design and concept to begin with, but were very flexible with reconfiguring the design as we went and buying things over time, not all at once.  We started with the key furniture pieces (sofa, chairs, console, dining table and chairs) and then a few months later added the side table, rug, light fixture, and mirrors.  Last week while I was in Utah we added the lamps and a few accessories and now we just need some window treatments a...
